A Chance to Wreck The Society.....

by metatron in

jw

if it's true that the society is starting a special campaign against "false religion", we may have them at our mercy!!!!!!!!!.

think about it: if they are stupid enough to print some cheap tract that shows churches and 'stars of david' as 'false religion', we may.

be able to cause enormous trouble by sending these to all public agencies dealing with intolerance and prejudice.. more than that, by posing as witnesses, these tracts may be sent to various people and groups with accompanying letters.

f-f,

i agree with you wholeheartedly and believe this is something both the jws and many on this forum lose sight of. in the larger scope of things, in a world population of approx. 6,500,000,000 maybe 30,000,000(including witnesses, ex-witnesses, relatives, loved ones etc.) have any interest in the jehovah's witnesses. even fewer have any interest in the politics of apostasy. they don't care about them and they don't care about us. the idea that you can "educate" the 6,470,000,000 people who don't know or care about jws and that they will help us "wreck the society" is silly at best.

For All Who Are Going to the Convention This Year

by drew sagan in

jw
friends

for most of us who are going to the 'delieverance at hand' district convention we want to be low on the radar.

but wouldn't it be terrible if we missed out meeting someone else from the board while we attended the same convention?

listing what convention your going to might be to much of a give away for some people, but i really don't care.

theocrat,

i don't know you well enough to consider you an enemy. i was only replying to the words you posted. you dismissed under_believer's warning to those of us who might need to be careful. you did this without mentioning that you personally "don't have a congregation" and "don't have a po." and therefore don't have any stake in u_b's post. but you certainly sounded brave by saying you would " welcome" somebody to "report" you. and you are the one who compared yourself to one of the best known activist exjw in america. where is your picture? where are you protesting this week. where is your web site? where is your identification (phone number, address, place of business). it appears you have a long way to go before you are "like" dh.

if as you say you have no po or congregation, who would you welcome somebody reporting to you? mommy and daddy? don't challenge people to report you because you think you are safe, and then be snide about people who are not in the precious position you are in. you still haven't identified yourself have you?

as far as slinging insults, if you truly are just someone who didn't give much thought before posting what you did, i apoligize for insulting you because i've done the same thing myself. but don't insult me by pretending that someone who is anonymous, and apparently will remain anonymous, is anything like an activist. don't insult people who are keeping a low profile when you are keeping a no profile.

Behind the Scenes: An Elders Point of View

i've been a member of this fourm for quite sometime although i rarely post.

i do however, have my story posted on shauns' site http://jwfiles.com/jws-leaving/william.htm i also wrote and article for that site comparing the prophecies of 1925 and 1975. http://jwfiles.com/1925-1975.htm just a little background on me: i served as an elder in philadelphia.

i was the cong sec.

the assembly accounts always seemed suspicious to me. they would say something to the effect of...donations $5,000--costs $3,500--donation to the society $3,000--deficit $1,500. it never added up to me. they would turn a $1,500 surplus into a deficit every time no matter how much was given they found a way to steal a little more. it was never enough. unwatched money is soon stolen.

theocrat,

i'm sorry but i missed where you posted your real name, picture, home congregation, or any other identifying information. could you point out where i might find these? for someone with no fear you are certainly well hidden. being a danny haszard wannabe does not make you a danny haszard. if you will provide the above information i'm sure someone will be willing to take you up on your welcome. but you don't have to wait for someone else to do it, just identify yourself as theocrat on jwd to your po.

Is it a case of; the more you know, the more disillusioned you become?

by jambon1 in

jw
friends

i really feel that if you have had any kind of responsibility in the org then you are more likely to start becoming disillusioned.

having an appointment exposed me to all sorts of things that i simply would`nt have known about had i not been in that position.

anyone concur?

just2sheep

jambon,

i agree that knowledge leads to disillusion, no matter how you acquire it, when what you believe is true is actually a lie. think about it, if "the truth" was actually true then everything we learned would have strengthened us in our belief. when what you learn is the truth behind the lie you either become disillusioned or give yourself over to the lie. but accepting the lie for prominence and phony prestige doesn't offer very much protection, ask brother ex-bethelitespecialpioneer gotnojoblookingforahome and his dear wife Snotty.

scully,

what i have no qualms about is rubbing your hypocritical little nose in your own hypocrisy. if that gets your panties in a bunch so be it. as far as the posting guidelines are concerned if you read them you would realize that swearing, using hate speech, and making obscene or vulgar comments are common place on this forum. insulting, threatening or provoking language seems to be acceptable if you are insulting, threatening or provoking the right people. but then those guidelines don't apply to you do they? how many others on this forum are not under these guidelines? so why are these guidelines posted if they are not followed and only apply to those who aren't of the priveliged class. surely you wouldn't post them so you can threaten people with removal if they don't follow the rules that no one follows, would you? abusers use many different obscenities, why aren't all of them censored? don't any of the others cause victims problems? so what is your point ,except that you have the key to edit anything you want. and you do.

i am not the one who used this word and i have no problem with simon's posted guidelines. i do have a problem with people who feel they are above such guidelines. i don't have any problem with simon being able to get in snit and throw me or anybody else out of his house. he can throw everyone out as far as i'm concerned. are you implying that you and others have this authority? if so could you list the people who, besides simon and yourself, have the authority to remove someone just because they feel like it. i'm sure there are others who would be interested in this also. doesn't this seem all too familiar?

i realize i've asked you a number of questions and that you probably won't answer any of them. but that is ok because sometimes just asking the question is as much as can be accomplished.

rrb,

welcome to jwd. unfortunately your story is a common one here, but there are people who want to help if they can. so stick around.

orbison11 said..."not going to bother reading any further" What a {delete}ing {delete} {delete} you are. no welcome, no hope you are feeling better, nothing from you but a kiss my {delete} attitude. certainly makes one feel like they are at the KH. if you weren't going to read any further(come on admit you read the last 71 words) why would you post such a snotty little note?

self appointed supreme ones,

people on this forum have been beaten, raped, lied to, and abused in every possible manner, but, thanks to your vigilance, they can be assured that their posts will be squeaky clean language wise. just like the good old days of spiritual censorship. it's good to have the key to those locked doors isn't it skully? if you don't like what we say, you just unlock that door and bang we didn't say it. how reassuring to you that must be. {delete}ing {delete} since you surely must have more important things to do than edit this post i went ahead and did it for you. no thanks are necessary.

j2s edited because i don't know you well enough to call you a nazi.

Mary--Perpetual Virgin?

by sinamongurl in

i read an excerpt from the book of mary stating that she was a perpetual virgin....joseph was quite up in age and was a widower with children, but was a god-fearing man and so did not sleep with her and kept her chastity...the only reason she was married was because that was apparently the law back then....so "thru god" he was chosen to take care of mary and jesus....apparently he did not have a long life after raising jesus.

jesus was born in a cave and later when everyone was called to their birthplace...joseph, mary, and family all went to bethlehem...with no room in the inn they were in the stables but jesus was already born by then and quite possibly no longer an infant.

this is very interesting to me because i was taught that mary did not stay a virgin (jw teachings) cause the bible mentions that jesus had brothers and sister, but this very well could have been josephs children from a previous marriage.... the excerpt came from a book called "lost books of the bible" by rh value publishing.

greendawn,

weren't the women associated with the jewish temple prostitutes? maybe the "temple virgin" story was what they told the folks back home, when asked what they were doing in ~~new york~~ jerusalem.
